-- As one of the largest and most diversified software companies in the world, Adobe empowers everyone-from students, creative artists, and small businesses to government agencies and the world's largest brands-to design and deliver exceptional digital experiences. In response to the current COVID-19 pandemic, many people are having to adapt their normal lifestyles and routines. Companies are encouraging remote or adaptive workplaces to reduce the spread of disease. Adobe has joined in the effort, following CDC guidelines to help ensure the safety of our employees and our customers.
We thought it might be helpful to remind you how you can use the tools and services included in your Creative Cloud subscription to minimize disruptions and make connecting with colleagues and clients a little easier during this difficult time.
Today, we want to take a closer look at Creative Cloud Video and Audio applications, as well as some key services in Creative Cloud. Over the coming weeks, we plan to release more guides covering the rest of our portfolio to help you collaborate and work effectively.
Team Projects: Collaborate in the cloud
If you are a Creative Cloud for teams or Creative Cloud for enterprise user, you have access to the collaboration tool Team Projects. With Team Projects, colleagues can collaborate on video projects from anywhere by syncing changes through the cloud. All you need to do is connect to the Team Projects service and create a Team Project in Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, or Prelude.
Project files are stored and saved in Creative Cloud, so you can revert and project sync files across multiple workstations. All editing work happens with lightweight proxies, that are synced between machines using a file sharing service like Creative Cloud, Dropbox, or Box. Teams can see who's online and resolve editing conflicts in real-time. It's like working in the same editing room, from hundreds of miles away.
Here are some more helpful links to help you learn more about working with Team Projects to deliver world-class creative projects:

Shared Projects: Hollywood-tested collaboration
Team Projects is well-suited to remote collaboration, but for those of you who are collocated and using shared storage, the Shared Projects feature might be a better option. Shared Projects has been used successfully on many Hollywood productions, with features such as opening multiple projects and sharing on a network, project bin locking, copying clips between projects, and breaking a larger project into smaller ones like episodes or chapters.

Adobe Premiere Pro: All-in-one
When it comes to video editing, Premiere Pro has everything you need to be a creative force and it works seamlessly with other Creative Cloud apps and services. Add cinematic intros from After Effects, cut in stock footage from Adobe Stock, adjust sound through Adobe Audition, or integrate with hundreds of third-party extensions to produce outstanding content.
Premiere Pro is also great for people who want a simple, end-to-end workflow in one application. Maybe you're an editor who normally works with a whole team: a graphic artist, audio engineer, and colorist. But due to changes to their daily routines, such as quarantine or adjusted work hours, they're not available for your projects.
Premiere Pro has all of the essential tools that you need to finish a project. Open up the Essential Sound panel to take advantage of the embedded Audition sound engine. Use the Essential Color (Lumetri) panel to adjust color and grade your content. Create the motion graphics you need with the Essential Graphics panel. When the project is finished, you can export using Adobe Media Encoder or directly through Premiere Pro.
Motion Graphics templates: Create custom graphics with ease
From opening credits, to lower thirds, eye-catching motion graphics can help set the tone and communicate information effectively in a video. Many video teams work with professional designers for each motion graphic, but what happens when editors don't have regular access to their graphic artists?
This is where using Motion Graphics templates can help. First, graphic artists create Motion Graphics templates in After Effects and use the Essential Graphics panel to build custom controls. Then, they hand the templates off to editors. Editors can use the simple controls in Premiere Pro to customize the Motion Graphics templates and create new titles and graphics.
If editors can't connect with their artists, Premiere Pro comes with several sample Motion Graphics templates. Editors can also browse through thousands of Motion Graphics templates available through Adobe Stock directly from Premiere Pro.
Adobe Premiere Rush: Professional quality, on the go
Adobe Premiere Rush allows you to shoot pro-quality video, edit it, and share it all through your mobile device. It's is more than just a mobile video app, it's a professional quality capture app for iOS and Android that uses built-in camera functionality to record footage in resolutions as high as Ultra HD 4K. Premiere Rush works across platforms and devices (iOs, Android, Mac, PC) to help you keep content flowing even when you don't have access to your normal equipment.
You can edit the video using the end-to-end workflow in Premiere Rush, including non-destructive color editing with Lumetri, an Audio panel, and a Titles panel with a variety of t
